Overview
this guide Does exactly what the title suggests, going over all the weapons and attachments to use on said weapon in-depth and giving my thoughts on each.
Introduction
In this guide ill go over every gun that is currently available in ROE.
Please note that this is my first guide on any game ever so please feel free to criticize me where I’ve made mistakes and ill do my best to use your advice in any future guides i create.
DO NOT post your referal link in the comments im not intrested in this being used like everyother post related to ROE. all referal codes will be deleted
I plan on keeping this guide up to date when the game updates but i cannot guarantee how true i will keep to that.
Everything in this guide is my opinion only with that i can guarantee that i will be biased on certain guns just from experience, please experiment and try all the guns and attachments to figure out what you like best.
All airdrop weapons are at the end of the guide and do not mention them till then.
I feel like the recoil stats are a bit weird, for example the orgin has noticible recoil and a slow rof but for a gun like the mp5 (which has a lower recoil stat) with a high rof has little recoil. Or the opposite the ak has a lower recoil stat than the aug but the aug has less noticable recoil (may be due to under barrel attachment).
I’ve yet to get the images i wish for the m200 and VKS but it will be in the guide soon.
The Attachments
attachments:
– Choke: good on all shotguns and is the only muzzle attachment the citori and remmington 700 can use. tightens the spread of pellets causing longer range shots to be more effective
– Compensator: use this when your handling or struggling with a guns recoil particularly on the famas, ak and G28.
– suppressor: This is better suited for the lower recoil guns e.g. the m4 and vector.
– extended magazine: good all around nothing else fits in its spot so may as well.
– flash hider: Really good on long range weapons because of it actually hiding the flash of your gun causing it to be quite dificult for enemies to locate where you are. try use different attachments on guns designed for close quarters.
– Triangular grip: use this with guns that dont have much recoil to numb your gun swaying from side to side while firing.
– vertical grip: use this with recoil heavy guns e.g vector or famas.
– 1x sight: the red dot sight or holo sight is merley a choice of prefrence so pick whatever you prefer. use this on more recoil heavy guns.
-2x scope good all round scope pretty unusable with guns with bad recoil amazing with on guns with low recoil. use on all guns exept shotguns and the vector.
-4x scope good DMR or sniper scope not so good for auto guns even low recoil ones. you can use the AK 47 as a DMR since it does enough damage to act as one.
-8x good for snipers and DMRs but other than that its not very good. this thing is quite rare and very useful when you’ve found a good weapon to go with it. the AK doesnt have enough range to make full use of this.
Abstract tips
Here i’ll put in some little tips that are handy to know if you dont already
- You can have 3 guns at any one time – this seems to be a minor misunderstanding some people have but yes you can swap out your pistol / starting shotgun
- you can change direction while on the zipline by pressing the back key – really useful if you see your self going into the middle of a gun fight or see someone that can get to you before you can get to them.
- you can also jump of the zipline once on it so be careful!.
- guns dont take up any space but their ammo does
- you can move while healing
- you can mask your footsteps with the noise of a smoke allowing you to re-locate or flank with your enemy being non the wiser
- you can shoot all the smgs and pistols while using the hang glider.
Pistols
PISTOLS: Favorite: UPS.45
– UPS.45 is the best pistol in ROE but still one of the worst guns you can use, pistols in general are not very good but it deals decent damage, fast rof and has little recoil. keep at close-ish quarters where your too far away for shotguns to one or 2 shot you but close enough to hurt your enemy. This is top simply due to it having good rof and high power. quite a situational gun.
ROF – 50
Ammo – .45 acp
Range – 15
Capacity – 15
Recoil – 27
– Glock 17 is by far the worst gun in the game with it just being a worse version if the ups but using more available 9mm rounds.
ROF – 54
Ammo – 9mm
Range – 16
Capacity – 17
Recoil – 25
– DESERT EAGLE is just not very usable with a slow fire rate very rare ammo (50 acp) but high damage and range. try keep to mid range if using this. This gun is very situational.
ROF – 15
Ammo – .50
Range – 40
Capacity – 7
Recoil – 30
Note: the usp and glock currently do not spawn in game and can only be acquired by using the glider or snowboarder kit.
Shotguns
SHOTGUNS: Favourite: ORIGIN 12
– CITORI is overall quite a bad weapon with the tiny magazine size and doesnt deal enough damage to oppenents its not very good but better than the pistols. try stick to close quarters when using this gun, the damage is minuscule at any distance greater than 12m.
Use the choke.
ROF – 28
Ammo – 12 Guage
Range – 8
Capacity – 2
Recoil – 77 (?)
– ORIGIN 12 absoloute beast in the early game being able to secure kills fairly easily on unarmoured opponents. It 5 shot magazine but can be increased with extended magazine (AR) which increases the rounds from 5-10. Again stick to close quarters this gun is awful at mid ranges. You can use the AR muzzles and extended magazine on this gun. I suggest using the choke becuase i find the recoil controlable but having a tighter spread allows the gun to deal damage easier. use the extended magazine, vertical grip because horizontal recoil doesnt really make a difference and any 1x sight. Like all shotguns, dont use this late game.
ROF – 22
Ammo – 12 Guage
Range – 10
Capacity – 5
Extended – 10
Recoil – 86 (?)
– REMINGTON 870 is debatably the worst shotgun due to it being pump action and not dealing enough to damage to compensate for the rof causing a lot of losses in conflicts with armoured people. the Magazine is higher than the citori but since the citori is semi-auto i feel its more useful. stay in close quarters for a chance at killing someone. use the choke and any 1x sight.
ROF – 6
Ammo – 12 Guage
Range – 8
Capacity – 5
Recoil – 77
The vests in this game soak up a lot of shotgun damage so Overall the shotguns are very bad late game due to everyone having vests and helmets
Submachine Guns
SUBMACHINE GUNS: Favorite: MP5
– MP5 is the best overall SMG and even gun for less than 100m for beginners and has decent recoil and range with reasonable dps.try use this at close to mid range. The mp5 is really good because of how non-situational it is with it being able to secure kills quite easily. i recommend a 1x sight and the 2x scope, suppressor and extended magazine.
ROF – 60
Ammo – 9mm
Range – 31
Recoil – 45
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
– MPX very similar to the MP5 but with a smaller magazine, built in suppressor and higher rof. The extended magazine is much more necessary due to only 20 rounds being available.
ROF – 78
Ammo – 9mm
Range – 27
Recoil – 48
Capacity – 20
Extended – 30
– VECTOR i believe this gun has the highest ROF in the game and is the most deadly gun when 8m away shredding your enemies apart. this is better than the mpx due to it being more viable late game keep to very close range. 4x and 2x are pretty much useless on full auto so stick to any 1x sights unless your taking advantage of the low one shot recoil as a DMR type weapon with little range, extended magazine, vertical grip and the suppressor due to either you or the enemy getting a kill if your guns suppressed it could make it harder to be located alos if your taking shots at someone from a longer range that viable for full auto this is handy.
ROF – 100
Ammo – .45
Range – 30
Recoil – 50
Capacity – 13
Extended – 25
Any sight is good for the mp5 and mpx
Use Angular grips because vertical recoil is easier to control for the mpx and mp5 and use the vertical grip for the vecter to keep your aim more on target.
Assault Rifles
ASSAULT RIFLES: 5.56 ammo Favorite: M4A1
– LVAOC is a great weapon for beginners as it has low recoil and decent close to mid range accuracy. Think of it as the scar l from PUBG. Try use a suppressor on this gun but a compensator will do just fine, increased magazine for more more spray, 4x with compensator 2x and 1x scopes for anything else and the angular grip.
ROF – 61
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 58
Recoil – 40
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
– M4A1 is the most stable and consistent weapon currently in ROE and has close, mid or long range capability. Recoil is also pretty is next to nil when fully kitted out and fires faster than the LVAOC i’d consider this gun tied top in the assault rifle category (excluding the AUG). I recommend the stock, any 1x sight or 2x scope or 4x if you’re skilled enough and the angular grip due to the the only recoil you have to worry about is horizontal.
ROF – 64
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 62
Recoil – 34 (?)
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
– FAMAS is the fastest firing of all the AR’s and is the least stable for long range with pretty bad recoil. Best is close range usable at mid range. Great for the starting fights. I’d use a
compensator, 1x or 2x sight, vertical grip due to the recoil being quite high and the extended magazine is quite useful due to high rof.
ROF – 98
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 60
Recoil – 25
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
Note: The majority of sights work on on the LVAOC and M4A1 but try keep a 1x on your gun as well as a 2x/4x but the FAMAS is not usable with anything larger than a 4x.
Use Angular grips on most auto guns because vertical recoil is easier to control (exept those with bad vertical recoil).
ASSAULT RIFLES : 7.62 ammo Favorite: AK 47
– GROZA is just like the famas but more deals more damage as it uses 7.62 ammo. I have found it to be quite difficult to control with the high recoil and rof making it more suitable for close range. Try to refrain from using this at targets from 20m> away. i would use a compensator to try numb the recoil, extended magazine and any 1x sight or 2x if you can control the recoil well enough.
This can be used like a dmr similar to the AK, works just the same, good as a multi-use weapon.
ROF – 69
Ammo – 7.62
Range – 56
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
– AK 47 is considered by many as the worst or one of the worst assault rifles in the game simply due to the high recoil when fully kitted or not. I however consider it to be tied top with the M4A1 because of the shear damage this thing can put out. This gun excels at close range and is just as good at medium and can go long range if used like a DMR. I’d use a compensator to numb the recoil, extended magazine and any 1x scope i find that 2x scopes are more tricky but are still usable and a 4x if your using the semi-auto mode.
ROF – 55
Ammo – 7.62
Range – 60
Capacity – 30
Extended – 40
Try stick to low magnification sights when using this caliber of weapon and having a secondary 2x scope if using it on full auto.
The Compensator is better than the suppressor for these high recoil guns.
DMRs – Designated Marksman Rifles
DMRs – Designated Marksman Rifles: Favorite: G28
(5.56 ammo):
– MK12 is a great weapon for mid – long range with it being quite non-situational being able to compete with assault rifles and being able to spam with little recoil and decent mag size but again the power is lacking when using this, overall this is a very solid gun for any conflict. try use a the 2x and 4x scopes for this.
ROF – 55
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 72
Recoil – 36
Capacity – 20
Extended – 30
(7.62 ammo):
– G28 is the SLR of PUBG and has bad recoil and is out classed by the snipers range wise but is good when coming into closer gun fights. it 4 shots anyone with a lvl1 vest
(5-6ish for superior vest). i think this gun is better than the MK12 but just barley with the recoil being very bad for spamming but the damage is very good making it a hit or miss for me, just depends on what mood im in if i keep it or not. use the Flash hider / compensator, vertical grip, extended magazine and 2x/4x scopes and 8x if available.
ROF – 61
Ammo – 7.62
Range – 70
Recoil – 32 (?)
Capacity – 10
Extended – 20
All sights are good for both DMRs
Vertical grips are good for DMRs because the vertical recoil is more present
Flash hiders are really good for making enemies struggle to fidn your location at a far distance so if you plan on using a dmr at a distance stick a flash hider on it
Sniper Rifles
SNIPER RIFLES: Favorite: REMINGTON 700
(7.62 ammo):
– MOSIN NAGANT is a great ready to go sniper rifle as it comes with a built in 4x scope making for good early game and late game while other snipers are better. keep to mid – long ranges. Use the extended magazine for this while making not much of a difference it can work as a fail safe if you forgot to or cant reload.
ROF – 3
Ammo – 7.62
Range – 79
Capacity – 5
Extended – 10
(5.56 ammo):
– REMINGTON 700 is a better sniper than the mosin simply due to it having higher damage, less bullet drop and being able to put a scope of your choice on it. try use an 8x scope but the 4x is still very viable. keep to mid – long ranges. use the extended magazine incase you cant or forgot to reload and the suppressor so you dont draw unwanted attention to yourself or the flash hider can be a good choice to make it dificult for your enemies to get your location.
ROF – 3
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 96
Capacity – 5
Extended – 10
All snipers (exept mosin) instakill/down on headshot
thank you to /u/punishingwind for this info – the only snipers that instakill/down on headshot with a lvl 2 helmet are the m200 and vks
The mosin can be better than the Remington because it comes with a scope if you’ve gotten unlucky and found no 4x but other than that the remington is slightly better.
Using anything other than the suppressor or flash hider i have found to be useless because of recoil not being an issue.
Tucksthebae mentioned to me the usefulness of the flash hider in long range engagements with it being far more dificult for who ever your shooting at to identify your position.
Air drop Weapons
AIR DROP WEAPONS:
– AUG is definitely the best AR in ROE with better overall stats to the M4A1 which out weigh the dps of the AK but it is still close. You get 42 ammo instead of 40 ammo when using an extended mag and has very little recoil with a angular grip.
ROF – 72
Ammo – 5.56
Range – 65
Capacity – 30
Extended – 42
– VKS comes as a silenced sniper rifle and it you can kill the enemy with just one shot, however with it using .50 ae you can only find it in the airdrop you looted it from or from desert eagles you can find both only giving 10 bullets also the bullet drop is terible on this gun. The VKS is definitely the most powerful sniper but since the ammo is so low it comes at second place to the M200.
ROF – 6
Ammo – .50
Range – 45
Capacity – 5
Extended – 10(?)
– M200 Is an overall great sniper with incredible range, good damage (55 on body with superior armor and kill on headshot) and in the air drop you get it from comes 20 rounds and the incredible range make it more usable than the VKS. If you get a suppressor and an 8x you can dominate with this thing.
ROF – 3
Ammo – .408
Range – 100
Capacity – 5
Extended – 10
The Stats
Thanks to ttv.Jakkreed for the idea of adding this into the guide
multiplyer = damage dealt/overall damage
e.g usp vs arms/legs = 18/30 = 0.6
As lovley as that formula is the multiplyers for each gun is mostly different so i cannot find out the values for guns where i have no information about damage. as a result of this:
x* = value calculated with formula
x? = i have estimated the value from other values or just from personal experience (e.g snipers)
x?*= i have taken an a calculation from a seperate guessed value OR i belive the multiplyer is different so the value different too
I belive weapons of the same catagory and caliber have the same multiplyer.
NOTE: The following values are to 2 decimal places or less.
PISTOLS (45 acp / 9mm)
arms / legs = 0.6
chest = 1.2
Vest lvl 1 = 0.73
Vest lvl 2 = 0.53
Head = 2.4
helmet Lvl 1 = 1.43
helmet Lvl 2 = 1.1
SHOTGUNS
I have spent a very long time researching and have not seen any reports on damage per pellet or how many pellets per shot for each shot gun there is (i belive they are the same but its still a possibility) so until someone else finds a way of testing it or ROE’s devs realease info on damage multiplyers and damage dealt.
[link]
The following is averages compared to the 3 shotguns
arms / legs = 13 (1/9)
chest = 24 (1/9)
Vest lvl 1 = 14 (1/9)
Vest lvl 2 = ?
Head = 34 (1/9)
helmet Lvl 1 = 22 (1/9)
helmet Lvl 2 = 14 (1/9)
ASSAULT RIFLES (5.56)
arms / legs = 0.59
chest = 1.11
Vest lvl 1 = 0.73
Vest lvl 2 = 0.54
Head = 2.79
helmet Lvl 1 = 1.81
helmet Lvl 2 = 1.26
ASSAULT RIFLES (7.62)
i have no information on the multiplyers of any 7.62 assault rifle so i have used the same multiplyer as the 5.56 rifles. this multiplyer is most definetly wrong but it will be around these values.
arms / legs = 0.61
chest = 1.2
Vest lvl 1 = 0.73
Vest lvl 2 = 0.51
Head = 2.44
helmet Lvl 1 = 1.66
helmet Lvl 2 = 1.24
DMRs
I have found nothing about dmrs after a while of researching. I’ll keep looking but for now this section is unknown
thank you again Alejitus!
arms / legs = 0.6
chest = 1.2
Vest lvl 1 = 0.73
Vest lvl 2 = 0.55
Head = 100
helmet Lvl 1 = 2 (1.98)
helmet Lvl 2 = 1.48
SNIPER RIFLES
MOSIN NAGANT: multiplyers are similar to the pistols apart from the head multiplyers
arms / legs =0.6
chest = 1.2
Vest lvl 1 = 0.71
Vest lvl 2 = 0.53
Head = 2.4
helmet Lvl 1 = => 1.5873
helmet Lvl 2 = 1.35
